Your monitor is designed to meet strict EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star
requirements for reduced power consumption and to comply with the VESA Standard Display Power
Management Signal. Using a combination of hardware and software functions, this energy-saving
feature allows your computer to control your monitor’s power consumption and reduce your monitor’s
power state when not in use.
NOTE:
Power consumption does not include the speaker power.
IMPORTANT:
Your monitor’s energy saver feature works only when your monitor is connected to a computer
that also has energy saver features.
The following table describes your monitor energy saver levels in each of four power states:
